This weekend marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season here in Owensboro-Daviess County. The 11th Annual Kraftucky Arts & Crafts Expo is set to take over the Owensboro Convention Center downtown. For the first time ever, the vendor booths will spill out of the convention hall into the lobby!
